Linkage probably came loose. Just remove the wiper arms and cowl panel (a few screws) and take a look.

Go to the HELP section at the parts house and buy new bushings for the linkage, make sure to clean and lube the ball ends and careful not to break the new bushings when installing them.

Just put one big wiper on the side that works and clock it up to about 30 degrees. That's what the import guys used to do

actually instead of adjusting the linkage
I was going to install school bus wipers from the top because that would be easier and cheaper than the obvious fix
